While taking classes at uni and TAFE focusing on UI design, I learned to code. I enjoy my work because I love art so consider myself fortunate to have been able to make it my profession. After work, I'm up for outdoor activities, especially saltwater-related. Recreation stimulates me, enabling me to concentrate effectively on my work.
On this page, I'll outline my experience and roles as a Graphic Designer practicing UI design concepts. Click this link Equitise Home Page to see one of the concepts I've mocked up for a home-page rejig. You'll find the working UI design in prototype mode.
Some of my experience is in drawing. I started with watercolour medium and progressed to digital, I'm drawing in Adobe illustrator which is how I produced the butterfly pictured here. The others are real watercolour on cotton parchment. For Equitise, I draw flat avatar concepts, which are being using to update website graphics and digital media. You can find examples of those in the Equitise Home Page concept.
When I realised I had enough skill to write my Portfolio from scratch, I decided to extend my skill writing javascript expressions for Adobe After Effects and Flash to writing for websites. I've learned javascript as I've needed it to apply to this Portfolio. Writing code has also come in handy at work to design and write emails and web banners. I know it's a skill I will not stop learning, especially as I become more fluent.
I've spent the past few years working between part time and contract positions to further my design knowledge and skillset. Right now, I'm learning javascript and efficient coding practice while working part time. My objective is to take on another role where I can add value by applying my growing design skillset.
Working as a Digital Graphic designer for Equitise is fun. I work to service the marketing team right alongside Equitise's Co-founder Jonny Wilkninson. The team trust me to work consistently online, which I most happily do. A typical day at Equitise sees us onboard clients and provide them with our marketing package to support their equity crowdfund campaign. We supply graphics for use across digital platforms and write emails and web banners on their behalf. Quite often the client has no marketing material as they are an early startup, in which case I've been known to get creative. We assist with their videos where I create intros, outros and provide general editing services.
Working as a Digital Graphic designer for BuyNatural was a great role. I worked in the marketing team with colleagues and both of the Owners, Matt and Catherine, who are very involved with the business. We onboarded many clients, which involved providing the client with their opted marketing package. My role entailed photography/videography, social media content production including drawing/graphic/video content and web banner design. I was able to get comfortable with animation and web design concept as the Owners encourage creativity and inventivness, especially for early stage clients who have little to no material. The Owners trusted me to start working online as it was a 2 hour drive each way and then the lockdowns began so working online became essential to maintain productivity. I still help with the occasional contract for BuyNatural as they are a pleasure to work for.
Volunteer duties include assisting with IT requirements and teaching IT basics to Habitat members to enable them to fulfill their roles. Provide photography and Graphic Design services when required for social media, promotional and event material.
Please phone or or email me if you are interested in moving forward with an interview, I will provide my references for you to contact at that stage.
